Taking the engine out wasn't that bad.

Not horrible but an early 911 can come out in an hour/hour and a half. Plus this is the first one for me. It will only get better!

I have seen techs drop a early 911 engine and trans in about 30 minutes......they nearly fall out So very, very simple. So like most things it comes down to .... compared to what ?

Compared to say a new Panamera S Turbo it is surely much easier.

Ever witnessed a VW beetle engine out-and-in contest? I think they do it in under 3 minutes. But that's a beetle...

I saw a beetle in-n-out once. In-n-out of my chicken's mouth and back in again
